Local OpenAI-compatible API bound to the network: free inference on your hardware.

Why it matters

LM Studio's OpenAI-compatible API is meant for localhost. On the public internet, strangers can list and run your local models on your hardware.

How common is it?

A published population estimate for LM Studio is still collecting. See the census methodology.

Counts are population-level, from third-party indexes and my own honeypots. I never scan the internet and this page makes no claim about any specific host.
